Once upon a time (in 1994), four guys from Carnegie Mellon University started a little technology company called FORE Systems. The little company soon grew, acquiring other companies and attracting many talented workers. Pretty soon FORE Systems was a Pittsburgh start-up success story. Then one day in 1999, a British company that would come to be known as Marconi bought FORE for a pretty penny. And then, six years later, another company named Ericsson bought the parts of Marconi that used to be FORE. (READ MORE)

“In a nice twist of fate, Mark Juliano, the entrepreneur and FORE employee who convinced Nelsen to come to Pittsburgh over a decade ago, is now a senior vice president at TalkShoe. And naturally, several other FORE alumni have worked with Nelsen at CoManage and TalkShoe.”

Mark Juliano

Mark Juliano was one of the earlier executives to leave local high-tech star FORE Systems Inc. when it went public several years ago. But he wasn’t about to simply put his share of the company’s success in his bank account.

After bouncing around only a little, this high-tech marketing executive teamed up with a few computer software developers and acquired the rights to technology from Carnegie Mellon University that allows you to automatically analyze a video’s full audio and image content. The resulting commercial product allows users to create video libraries that are digitized and catalogued for easy and effective searching. (Read More)

TECH TRANSFORMATIONBy Christina Dyrness.

Pittsburgh’s got a problem. You might not know it to see the city. It’s a compact grouping of attractive buildings sitting on a point of land triangulated by the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. Gone are the soot-belching plants and in their place the rivers’ edges are graced with shops, restaurants and parks.

Pittsburgh has spent the last few decades shedding an ugly, steel-town image for one slightly more refined and more successful. Pittsburghers are still fanatical about their sports teams, but the average citizen can also rattle off the names of a few of the technology companies in the region: FORE Systems, Ansoft Corp., Janus Technologies, the Carnegie Group….

Mark Juliano, president of another CMU spin-off, ISLIP Media, says that Pittsburgh needs more than an economic change.

“The main problem is attitude. It’s gotta be cool to get a new job every two years and not wear shoes,” he says.

Juliano’s contribution to a change in attitude is his participation in a “new guard” of 10 technology CEOs who meet regularly. Though its official name is Next Step, he calls it a “technology support group.” He says it’s a way to make a formal start at what happens more organically in other technology centers.

It was Juliano’s entrepreneurial experience and passion that made him Coticchia’s draft pick to head ISLIP Media.

He came on board late in 1996 to take ISLIP Media’s technology — ; an audiovisual archiving system — to market. Juliano’s background includes a Stanford MBA and a stint at a Silicon Valley start-up before returning to his hometown and joining the staff of FORE Systems when there were only 15 employees. Having grown up with FORE, Juliano was hooked on the start-up environment and eager to launch his own. (READ MORE)
